Chapter 19 Hunting Practice Archery (for collection)
As the days passed, the grain harvested from the [-] mu of land this autumn included the public grain left to the tenants and handed over to the government.
For the rest, Xiao Qi stayed to make wine.
Zhang Xiu had a problem with Xiao Qi ordering a large number of pots and jars at once, and planned to use all the extra food to make wine.
However, out of trust in her own man and her deep-rooted male-dominated thinking, although she felt that Xiao Qi was too prodigal, she didn't know how to save food for disaster prevention.
But she still didn't express any strong objection, she just urged Xiao Qi to study every day, but at other times Xiao Qi tinkered with wine making and went out for horseback riding, although she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say too much.
Of course Xiao Qi knew what his little daughter-in-law was thinking, since Zhang Xiu couldn't say much, of course he was happy to live more freely.
The point is that if you follow Zhang Xiu's ideas, you will truly become a person of this era, which Xiao Qi can't accept even if he dies.
However, after brewing a few times of wine and Zhang Xiu also tasted it a few times, she started helping Xiao Qi every day when making wine, busying herself with other things, and never showed any objection.
In the words of this money-obsessed girl: "This wine is much better than the wine that Daddy brought back for a tael of silver a jar. We are rich!"
Xiao Qi couldn't hold back the girl's softness and stubbornness, and finally agreed to take out half of the wine brewed every time and store it in an altar.
The little girl changed the cellar used to store vegetables and fruits into a wine cellar and went down to put the wine in person, for fear that Xiao Qi would accidentally break a jar.
With the surprises brought by these wines, this girl Zhang Xiu didn't care so much about Xiao Qi going out to ride a horse and have fun.
It is just that he is not allowed to take any risks, in case of falling off a horse and hurting himself, no one knows what to do.
Xiao Qi smiled secretly, this woman is the same no matter what age she is.
Zhang Xiu's posture is similar to those in previous lives where the husband brought home a bonus of 1 yuan, and the wife gave [-] yuan to buy cigarettes to smoke.
Xiao Qi had already ridden around the neighborhood a while ago, and he already knew where there were mountains and where there were forests.
Every time Zhang Xiu went out, he was worried that he would encounter a beast on the road, so he asked him to carry a hatchet.
The Tang Dao was still too eye-catching and could not be easily seen.
Although Xiao Qi could take out the Tang knife from his storage compartment at any time, in order to reassure Zhang Xiu, he would go out with the horn bow and hatchet he made every time.
Xiao Qi is also very careful every time he goes out. He is very clear that even in the heyday of the Southern Song Dynasty, the population was only 8000 million, that is, the population of a province in the previous life, and it had to be a province with an average population.
Where the population is large and the population is small, there will be many wild animals of all kinds.
He is not worried about wild boars and wolves, those things like to be tough, this is a gift for Xiao Qi now.
What he was worried about were beasts like tigers and leopards. Those things liked to sneak up on them. If they were attacked by those things, with the current medical conditions, it would be easy to cause problems.
Despite this worry, the innate curiosity and adventurous spirit of human beings still made him yearn for the day when he could hunt a ferocious beast to enjoy himself.
I have that set of super soft armor on my body, which is safe and secure, and the rest doesn't matter. Anyway, there are still nearly a thousand years before the emergence of the Wildlife Protection Law.
In this era where ferocious beasts often hurt people, and if adults are not careful, children may be snatched away by wild beasts.
Anyone who dares to jump out and say that they are not allowed to beat those beasts will be beaten to death by the people in less than 10 minutes.
It is said that Xiao Qi now rides out with a horned bow every day, but he will not come back empty-handed every day, and it is quite common to bring back three or five hares.
The reason why he insists on riding out every day is not entirely for fun, he is also practicing "Divine Archery".
It is not so easy to shoot a galloping hare in motion while riding a galloping horse.
"Divine Archery" is also progressing rapidly while he goes hunting every day.
Every time Zhang Xiu came back, although he was delighted that he brought back a lot of game, he would still complain about him:
"Now you act like a scholar, but all day long you act like a good hunter."
The more times she said it, Xiao Qi became immune, knowing that her little daughter-in-law was just talking, not really unhappy.
Over time, not only the tenants in his farm, but even the surrounding villagers knew that the new farm owner was a scholar with both civil and military skills.
When you meet on the road, if you are brave, you will greet him from a long distance.
Xiao Qi, who has time-traveled, naturally doesn't have any airs, and talks back to people every time, and sometimes chats enthusiastically for a while.
This made Xiao Qi, the owner of the villa, a good friend in the eyes of the people around him, and his reputation was not bad.
In addition, the people around him often saw him galloping on horseback, and they all knew that he was good at martial arts, but there was no such thing as a short-sighted local rich man who dared to stretch his neck to provoke him in this troubled world.
Sometimes when people concentrate on a certain thing, they will make rapid progress.
Xiao Qi, who was immersed in practicing riding and shooting every day, didn't notice at all that his current shooting skills had amazed most of the crossbowmen in the army.
The fur of the prey he brought back became more and more complete, and many small prey were shot through without affecting the vital points of the entire hide.Because Zhang Xiu's father Zhang Cheng used to like to go to the mountains and forests to buy some game and drink whenever he was at home.
So she learned how to tan fur from her mother before. She tanned all the intact fur and planned to make warm leather jackets and pants for Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi knew that this stubborn girl would not think about herself until she made a leather jacket and pants for herself.
So I didn't keep persuading her to do it for herself first, and it's only October now, and when it's really winter, the fur of these wild animals will be the best at that time.
Hurry up to make a good skin for her daughter-in-law in winter, and she will not shirk when she already has one.
As the weather turned cold, Zhang Xiu was worried that Xiao Qi would catch the wind and cold while riding on the horse.
First, he sewed leather knee pads and leather waistcoats for him, and then began to make rabbit fur boots for him.
That is, the soles are still the kind of rags that are brushed and sewn into things like insoles, and then a dozen of them are stitched together with large needles to make a layered bottom.
Then impregnated with tung oil for waterproofing, the upper of the shoe is lined with rabbit skin, and the outside is made of pulped coarse cloth like ordinary boots.
Now the young couple, apart from practicing kung fu and eating together every day.
When Xiao Qi was studying, Zhang Xiu sat beside him, making boots or sewing clothes.
The two of them lived a sweet and comfortable life, and anyone who saw it would be envious.
After finishing reading every day, after Xiao Qi led the horse out, Zhang Xiu would clean up the house, and after finishing her work, she would sit in the gatehouse next to the gate of the outer courtyard, sewing clothes while waiting for her man to come home.
These days, Xiao Qi feels more and more that his "Divine Archery" is about to break through. He began to deliberately carry out some more difficult riding and shooting, in order to make a breakthrough sooner, and then see what kind of rewards he will get. .
